With an antenna, a laptop and some software, you can take a picture of Earth from space.
Human behaviors shift. Policies change. New technology arrives and evolves. All those changes and more are hard to predict, and they affect tomorrow’s costs.
Covering the state’s canals with solar panels would reduce evaporation of precious water and help meet renewable energy goals – all while saving money.
His theory, based on years of detailed climate and weather data, became known as the Callendar Effect. Today we call it global warming.
Urban gardens, parks and green walls are crucial ways to tackle flash floods and city heat. But new global research finds its effectiveness varies from city to city.
